Title: SAUNDERS,Joseph-Pithara, WA
Post by: DelBoy on Monday 22 April 13 07:37 BST (UK)
Hello
I am hoping to trace Joseph Saunders, he was noted as being from Pithara 1926, when his sister Clara visited him in Perth hospital. Can anyone with WA knowledge check the elec rolls please.
Thanks Del

Australian Electoral Roll 1925.

Saunders, Joseph. Bandee, labourer.                         Division of Swan, subdivision of Northam.
Saunders, Joseph. c/o F.G Brown, Arthur River, labourer.        Forrest,                        Williams.
Saunders, Joseph. Norman's Lake, Dam sinker.                          Forrest,                       Williams.
Saunders, Joseph Charles. 132 Royal St, East Perth. Warehouse employee. Perth.
Saunders, William Burton Joseph. Graphite road, Manjimup. Forrest, Nelson.

Pithara is about 280 km north of Bandee and both towns are in the wheatbelt.

As Christine mentioned, without any other family information it's a bit hard to work out which might be your man, if any!

Regards,
John

TROVE mentions various individuals connected to the SAUNDERS family of Pithara, formerly of QLD.

Lots of searching has succeeded in finding a burial record, and in turn a death notice for Joseph SAUNDERS.

The basic background has been put online here by a reli  [I have a ton more]   http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~barbarahollis/saunders_family.htm


Any help appreciated  ;)
